Many areas outside New York City again saw the temperature start out in the 40s with colder spots recording 30s. Low temperatures included: Bridgeport: 48° Danbury: 41° Islip: 47° Montgomery: 35° New Haven: 45° New York City-Central Park: 54° New York City-JFK Airport: 51° New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 57° Newark: 51° Poughkeepsie: 39° Sussex: 38° Westhampton: 35° White Plains: 47° In parts of the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains, daily and monthly high temperature records were set. Green Bay (88°) and Rapid City (96°) tied their October monthly records. Philip, SD reached 98°, breaking its October monthly record of 97° for October 1, 1953. The New York City area will be on the fringes of this exceptionally warm air mass this weekend into early next week. A warm weekend lies ahead. Highs will generally reach the upper 70s to lower 80s. The warm weather will continue early next week. Another strong cold front will likely cross the region around midweek. The frontal passage will likely bring some showers or thundershowers. A shot of much cooler air will follow. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.5°C for the week centered around September 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.12°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.42°C. La Niña conditions will likely develop during mid- or late-autumn. The SOI was +5.48 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.374 today. Don is that 35 at FOK the lowest so far this season? Do you have numbers so far for the lowest temperatures at MJX, MVY and MPO? I'm wondering if anyone has gotten closer to freezing than 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you grew up in the 2010s you saw plenty of snow averaging over 30 inches a year. Hopefully your son will see some snowy winters soon. in the 1980s January was extremely cold. Interestingly enough with a few notable exceptions like 1983, February was much warmer than January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the two graphs have a different y axis max despite being about the same image size so it makes it look like the percentage difference between the two is minimal. I thought that until I realized the bottom pic went to 60 instead of 50 haha. The shading is based on the historic figures. Next time, I will manually force the same y-axis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he wasn’t old enough to remember it, but I do. That was the only time we had a few days to play in the snow without it melting. But even that year was only something like 2-3 inches above normal. Even in our warmer, more snowless winters of the past, you could always count on at least a few sustained cold weeks with snow, except maybe on the island. I’m hoping this year might be decent but I won’t be shocked if it hardly snows either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Values are assigned based on their range. One can manually make adjustments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 1953 and 1966 have a record that NYC may never match ever again, 4 days of 100+ I used to think 1966 was more impressive, but 1953 has so many records, two straight days of 100+ in two separate heatwaves, NYC's longest heatwave on record (late August into September to boot) and a second very long heatwave to boot back in July when they had their first 2 day stretch of 100+. What 1966 did that only happened two other times (in 1948 and more recently in 1993) was have three straight days of 100+. And those three straight days of 100+ happened at all of our major reporting sites-- including JFK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
